Oversized Patchwork Sneakers

Vans' Authentic and SK8-Hi Sneakers Get OTW Patches

— December 7, 2018 — Fashion
Skate label Vans is not unfamiliar with the concept of exploring oversized logos, and its latest drop boasts that exact concept as it adorns two of its signature models with OTW patches. The design is juxtaposing as it is understated, yet bold -- launched in the selection of either the Sk8-Hi or the Authentics. Both iterations are adorned in the large OFF THE WALL patchwork detail, which results in vastly different designs.

The Authentic sneakers update the label's signature skateboard logo in an all-over design print with the option of either black or red color schemes. Both versions are finished in layering print designs across canvas constructed uppers that contrast their simplistic white lacing system and midsoles. The Sk8-Hi shoes are offered in either a bright yellow and blue option or a muted black and white colorway. They have a solid color over the toe, the heel, and the tongue in suede materials and the label's signature checkerboard design towards the back.
